Tiktok US Operations: ‘Working hard on a deal to save Tiktok’
Tickek will continue to work in the United States at least till mid -June, when US President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order and delayed the ban for another 75 days. The deadline expansion gives more time to divide the American operations of the tiktok amid national security concerns.
Trump said on the truth social, “My administration is working very hard on a deal to save Tikok, and we have made tremendous progress,” Trump said on the truth social, just hours before the original time limit ended. He said that more time was required to finalize the agreement, saying that the transaction needs more work to “sign all necessary approval.”
Tiktok, which has more than 170 million users in the US, was briefly dark and was removed from the app stores in January, when a federal law came into force after ordering separation from the Chinese -origin company’s bidance. However, Trump initially stopped the enforcement and Friday’s expansion marked the second delay.
The law, passed with strong bilateral support and retained by the Supreme Court, only allows a 90-day recurrence when a deal takes place on the table. However, Trump’s decision has criticized. “He is not increasing anything.” “He will not enforce the law for 75 more days. The law is still effective”, Rosaneshtin said.
There are concerns about the continuous control of the algorithm of Tikok. Cyber security expert Chris Piercene told AP, “If the algorithm is still controlled by bidence, it is still controlled by a company that is in a foreign, unfavorable nation state,” Cyber security expert Chris Piercene told AP.
Forester analyst Kelsey Chikking described the algorithm as a central for the success of the app, saying “without its algorithm, Tiktok is like Harry Potter, without its stick.”
According to The New York Times, the proposed solution may include American investors to roll into a new independent ticket unit, with additional support from firms such as Oracle and Blackstone.
Oracle already hosts Tiktok’s US data very much, and its chairman Larry Alison is a known Trump partner. Retail giant Walmart and Amazon have also reportedly shown interest, with many unconventional dialects emerging from AI Startup Perplexity, YouTuber MRbeast and ONLYFANS.
Trump suggested that Tiktok could be part of a comprehensive business conversation with Beijing. He said, “We are eager to work with Tikokk and China to close the deal,” he said, indicating that other controversies such as tariffs may help resolve. Meanwhile, China’s Foreign Ministry said it does not ask firms to share foreign data.
Tiktok has emphasized on giving priority to user safety and transparency. For creators such as Daniel Royav, which runs @Satprepetor on the platform, the extension is a relief. “Almost all my new students come through Tiktok,” he told AP. He said, “This extension will allow students to access high quality short-form educational materials”, he said.
Pew research center recently found American opinion on tiktok A third is divided with supporting a restriction with a third and other people either resist or are uncertain.
